BARTINGTON INSTRUMENTS 1. About this Manual This manual describes the installation, operation and maintenance of the Mag-03 range of three axis magnetic field sensors. It should be read in conjunction with the product brochure (DS0013) which can be found on the product page of the Bartington Instruments at: www.bartington.com.
In designing the Mag-03 series, the policy has been to provide a high performance sensor having a flat amplitude response and a small, predictable phase lag over a wide bandwidth. The analogue outputs may require external filters if not used with a Bartington Instruments data acquisition unit to achieve the noise specification of the sensor .
7. Cables and Connectors 7.1. Cables Cables are available to connect the range of Mag-03 sensors to the range of suitable Bartington Instruments power supply and data acquisition units. Specifications for each of the cables are given in the product brochure.
BARTINGTON INSTRUMENTS 7.3. Mag03MSS-TC -TC versions of Mag-03 MSS feature a test coil which applies a magnetic field to all axes when activated. The corresponding changes in X, Y and Z output voltages confirm that all axes of the sensor are operational.
10.2. Interface A simplified interface schematic for the Mag-03 series is shown in the product brochure. The analogue outputs for the X, Y and Z axes are buffered to give a low output impedance, enabling the unit to be operated over long cables and interfaced to high impedance data acquisition systems.
10.7. Electromagnetic Compatibility Except for the Mag-03MCT, the Mag-03 range of sensors are not shielded for immunity from, or emission of, electromagnetic fields. Any shield placed around the sensor will limit the bandwidth of the sensor response. Emissions are at the frequency of the energising field of the sensor. The sensor is required to respond to magnetic fields within the specified frequency band.
Typical amplitude, phase response and bandwidth are shown in the product brochure. 11.2. Noise The Mag-03 range includes different noise versions that are specified in the product brochure. These versions correspond to the internal noise of the sensor, which can only be achieved in a shielded environment where no external fields are present.
Aliasing can generate spurious signals or noise in the wanted frequency band by intermodulation between excitation and data sampling frequencies. See application note ‘AN0042: Connecting your own Power Supply to a Bartington Magnetic Field Sensor’ from Bartington Instruments for further information.
